PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR'S
KIPONA UNDER WAY |
Plans are being considered al
ready for next year's Kipona. A
large number of suggestions have
been made to make it bigger and
better and Admiral J. William Bow
man said to-day that he would like
to receive ideas of people in gen
eral for the consideration of the
labored so diligently to make thsl
affair the wonderful success it has
been, but I wish to convey to all of
them and to the members of the com
mittees especially the deep appreci
ation which I feel and which I am
sure the people of the whole city feel
for the enthusiasm the participants
displayed. I am sure it has all served |
a very good purpose and our reward
must be in the entertainment we have
provided for all who desired to wit
ness the wonderful spectacle pre
sented."
The Harrisburg Light and Power
Company, Ray E. Steward, Cox Stew
ard and the McCreath Brothers pro
vided all the flats used in the Kipona.
There were 75 of them in all. each of
them valued at 5500 or more and the
owners gave them free to the city for
the occasion, a very generous contri
bution to the success of the enter
prise.
Much credit is due to Ray Steward
and his veteran river men who moved
with ease 40 flats, all of them chained
together from the island shore to
their place near the front steps for
the enactment of the pageant. Mr.
Steward and rivermen took their job
seriously and put much enthusiasm
into it. They moved this great train
of boats without a hitch or accident
and precisely in the number of min
utes they had calculated in advance.
Several tribes of Redmen in the city
aided materially in adding to the pic
turesque pictures of the pageant by
appearing in uniform, while the Girl
Scout chorus gave another and very
beautiful touch to the pageantry by
appearing in costume and singing
most effectively.
The Boy Scouts under Scout Execu
tive Virgin did excellent work both
afternoon and evening. They kept the
crowds not only in good order, but
in good humor, as well. They pre
vented lams and lirected street traf
fic. They transferred seats from flat
to flat and wigwagged signals for
starting and halting pageant scenes.
In short, they added another brilliant
chapter to their long record of suc
cess during Harrisburg's celebration.
Jay Cox Thompson of the Valley I
Railways Company, an electrical engi- j
neer of state wide reputation, and L. j

Pea Coal
|
Buy Now
CONSI MERS of Pea size coal should put in their
winter's requirements without further delay.
Coal operators advanced the price of Egg, Stove
and Nut coal 95 cents per ton in the period from
July Ist to September Ist. The wholesale advance
on Pea coal from July Ist to September Ist was but
20 cents per ton.
We are expecting a further advance of 75 cents per
ton on Pea size coal just as soon as cold weather
comes to stay.
At the present time we are in position to furnish a
good quality of Hard, Soft or Mixed Pea coal. We
strongly advise the putting in of this size coal,
because it is now available—later coal will be scarce
and prices high.
Don't wait and get caught in the
and Winter Rush." If you wait, you will
pay higher prices, and, what is worse, you
may not be able to get coal when you need
it most.

Refuse to Run Cars When
Nonunion Men Repair Wires
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 3.—Colum
bus awoke thismornlng to find an
unexpected strike of motormen and
I conductors on its Btreet car lines.
The union car men stated the
strike had been called to obtain bet
ter working ponditlons and higher
pay, but their demands were not
made public early to-day. They
said the strike of the motormen and
conductors was not in sympathy
with striking linemen of the street
car company. However, union men
said things came to an issue be
tween the men and the company
yesterduy when the men refused to
run cars under broken trolley wires
repaired by nonunion linemen.
DOCK STRIKE CONTINUES
Paris, Sept. 3.—The dock strike at
Marseilles continues without disor
der, hut serious consequences are
feared if a settlement is not reach
ed soon, especially as oil refineries
and soap factories will soon run
short of raw materials. Tho execu
tive committee of the federated
trades unions of the department has
decided, if the employers persist in
their refusal to satisfy the work
men's claims, to call for a general
strike.
